Jaw-dropping headlines

Elizabeth Large | elizabeth.large@baltsun.comSun restaurant critic

When I first started reviewing, not only did I have to worry about bad restaurant meals and outraged owners, I had to be wary of the headline writers at The Sun. I would open the newspaper, and my jaw would drop. Here are a few of my favorite headlines from the '70s, my first decade on the job:

Viet dinner experience beats the war

Despair after sundown

Sauced at a Spanish outpost

(No, I hadn't been drunk. I had complained about too much sauce on my main course.)
